Mark your calendars for Citizens for Better Community 14th annual Spring Celebration event on Saturday, April 22 at the Flamingo Palace in Fremont. This year's dinner program will be a collection of classic and modern Chinese cultural entertainment including magic, dancing and instrumentals. Miss Chinatown USA 2006 will be highlighted and will delight us with a demonstration of her dancing prowess.

Founded in 1992, CBC is a nonprofit organization that serves to motivate Chinese-American involvement in the community in areas of education, health, business, and community service. Each year, CBC raises its operating funds through the annual Spring Celebration fundraiser with a portion of the proceeds being donated directly back to other local organizations that generously support the community as well. Past beneficiaries of the Spring Celebration have included the Fremont Senior Services, Fremont Education Foundation, Alameda County Library Foundation, Ohlone College Foundation, Washington Hospital Healthcare System, and many others.

CBC will also be presenting its 2006 "Citizen of the Year" award to Ivy Wu and "Volunteer of the Year" awards to Amy Cho and Josephine Chou.
